The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 25, sentence 14

Why, nothing but a serpent’s skin, which her husband, who was, unknown to her, a magician, put on when he was at work; and at the sight of it the girl was turning away in disgust, when the earth shook violently under her feet, the palace vanished as if it had never been, and the bride found herself in the middle of a field, not knowing where she was or whither to go.

Who acts: husband, nothing, damsel, girl, earth, palace · What happens: husband, be, put on, turn away, shake, vanish · To what, where: maiden, work, sight, feet, bride, middle · Speech: someone speaks here
